ARSENAL’S LACAZETTE LINKArsenal are doing the dance again with Alexandre Lacazette, with the more talks set to take place over a £49million-plus deal.
The Telegraph reports that the Gunners are keen to capitalise on the break down of the France striker’s move to Atletico Madrid by completing a swift deal for the 26-year-old. Lacazette is seen as a potential replacement for Alexis Sanchez because he can play anywhere across the front three.
Apparently, “Arsene Wenger would like Lacazette, Kylian Mbappe and his Monaco team-mate Thomas Lemar as he rebuilds his team.” The Gossip would like Eva Mendes, Jessica Alba and Scarlett Johansson as he rebuilds his weekend. Each prospect appears as likely as the other…

THE DAILY MBAPPESpeaking of unlikely prospects, Liverpool are again linked with a bid for Monaco star Mbappe.
The Times claims the Reds will submit an offer for the France striker if they believe he would be interested in a move to the Premier League. L’Equipe reports that Arsene Wenger has spoken to Mbappe to suss out his plans, while the French outlet also claims Real Madrid remain favourites to win the race.
But Liverpool apparently retain a serious interest, with Marca saying the Reds had an £88million bid rejected by Monaco, who will only consider offers above £100million.

UNITED KEEN ON ALBA, FEELING NOT MUTUALManchester United are supposedly interested in Barcelona left-back Jordi Alba, according to ESPN.
But both sides accept ‘a deal will be difficult to complete this summer’, which pretty much kills the story in the opening paragraph.
Alba was in an out of the Barca team last year, making 39 appearances despite missing out on the key Champions League matches. But Rob Dawson’s story says: “…sources have told ESPN FC that Alba is more settled at the Camp Nou following Ernesto Valverde’s appointment as manager.”
As you were, then.

PSG EYE AGUEROPSG are ready to tempt Manchester City with a £60million offer for Sergio Aguero.
The Ligue 1 side are determined to land a marquee signing after losing their title to Monaco, and Aguero is one of the names on the Parisians’ list.
According to The Times, “Pep Guardiola has insisted that Agüero will remain at the Etihad Stadium next season but the player has been more ambivalent.”
Despite Guardiola’s preference for Gabriel Jesus as his leading striker, Aguero made 25 starts in the Premier League and another six substitute appearances, still helping himself to 20 goals. All things considered, though, £60million might be tough to turn down…
